Rodgers is a player that Johnson is said to have earmarked as he prepares to bolster his backline over the summer, with scouts from City said to have watched the Tigers starlet in action against Crewe Alexandra on Saturday.

Among other clubs reportedly interested in Rodgers, according to football website Clubcall , are Norwich City, Barnsley and Rotherham United.

With Rodgers out of contract at the KCOM Stadium in the summer and a number of more experienced firmly established at Hull, it is more than likely that he will be available on a free transfer.
